Method

  • step 1

    Boil the sausages in their skins in a pan of water for 10 minutes. Cool slightly, then snip off the skins and discard, and finely chop the meat.

  • step 2

    Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile heat a non-stick frying pan and toast the fennel seeds for a minute or so to bring out their flavour. Tip the seeds on to a plate, then add the oil to the pan and fry the shallots or onion and garlic for about 5 minutes until soft.

  • step 3

    Stir in the chopped sausages, red wine, tomatoes and tomato purée and simmer for 8-10 minutes or so until the tomatoes have cooked down to make a sauce.

  • step 4

    Drain the pasta, return it to the pan and toss in the sauce with the fennel seeds, Parmesan and parsley. Hand round extra Parmesan at the table.

love this, I used gluten and dairy free substitutes and was still delicious! I also used beef stock instead of red wine and it made it into a rich sauce which tasted great. i also fried the sausages instead of boiled ....ok so a little different from the original but it's a great base for whatever…

Have made this a few times without the fennel seeds. This time I again omitted the fennel and added half a teaspoon of chilli flakes instead. I also used a tin of chopped tomatoes instead of fresh, a red wine stock pot as I didn’t have any wine, plus I used 300g of spirali pasta as I couldn’t find…

This is delicious. I'm not a great lover of fennel, but it's absolutely makes this dish.

Tip: I found it easier to peel the sausages when I boiled them for just 3-4 minutes.

This is easy, quick and delicious. The first time I made it we all kept picking out the fennel seeds so I left them out this time, and it was no great loss to be honest. I also used a tin of chopped tomatoes to save time as I am not really keen on fresh ones.
